Xbox One System Discussion

Chill man. We will all know later Friday. The internet makes things seem worse than they really are. I bet they'll be some bumps but most everyone will be fine.

Well first impression, its slow as *****K!

For a next gen console a slow menu or dash is bloody NO NO!

1 down 1 to go

Yeah let us know. As I'm not around I'm going to get my brother to open mine & test it. Kind of a shame as I love unboxing things like this but I'll want to know now if it's working or not.

I can't believe it's out today

Man from what I've seen the new dash looks confusing as hell.

Installing every game who has patience for that?, next gen should be the slickest and easiest to use system ever, this looks like a massive step backwards.

I've been with xbox for the last 10+ years but I'm happy to sit this one out till it improves.

Got my Xbox. Installation froze up. Had to reset the system, now its finally updating. Hope the restart didn't affect the console.

Both PS4 and Xbox One have to install all games, but in neither case do you actually have to wait until it's fully installed, you can begin playing after a minute or so, once it has enough data installed to start off.

And as far as being easy to use, they designed it for Kinect, it's as easy as saying a voice command rather than navigating between menus.

Not having to wait till 100% is ok, it's that the laughable HD they supplied will be eaten up by 10 or so games. Extra storage cannot currently be hooked up, it's gonna take a LOT of tweaking and patches to get this machine running at an acceptable level.

Kinect is a dust collecting gimmick though, I had the original one and the novelty wore off after a few weeks. No hardcore gamer wants to sit and memorise stupid command phrases just to navigate the thing.

Kinect is surprisingly cool... But it stopped my damn YouTube video 3 times. I was just talking to my wife and it closed out the YouTube app.

Just unboxing it now. The kinect looks and feels very well made and substantial . I also like the little touches on the connection ports and power brick of half gloss, half mat black to replicate the machine.

Only if your a yank, any accent and you may as well not bother with Kinect!

The power brick is probably the same size as the PS4

I hadn't considered this. If these are shipping out all over the world you'd think they'd have given a thought to those who have different accents or don't speak english at all. Will the kinect be capable of understanding languages other than English ?.

 

[jye4ever]

Even in yank the Kinect is having a difficult time doing what MS promised.

 

[gypsycatcha]

Anyone setting up wireless, id recommend re settinng your router as it may have problems updating. Should be ok and good to go after.
